[Nobodyman]

And thus begins the Dressrosa arc. Buckle up kids, we're gonna be here a while.

Oh yeah, and since it went on hiatus, it's been an eventful couple of weeks for One Piece, with the debut of the live action adaptation that actually performed pretty well and has already been greenlit for a second season. If you're at all interested, I definitely recommend checking it out.

 

[Nobodyman]

Previously on One Piece: In lieu of PETA, Luffy dispenses some animal justice.

WAKE UP!

Seems the Straw Hats really tasted the rainbow in this opening.

Oh hey Bonney, hey Jimbei, hey Croc. Dang, we're just checking in on everyone.

 

[animePWNS]

At least we get two episodes tonight. But once again, we can't get our hopes up.

Spoiler

This whole arc is about as long as Water Seven/CP9/Enies Lobby. I'm expecting two years of going through this.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

So we're back to two episode installments.
I wonder what sort of nonsensical tomfoolery our gang of misfit pirates will get into this time.

All the pigeons Dastardly and Muttley and their flying machines haven't caught.

Monkey D. Luffy, future king of the pirates, how may I direct your call?

"Your crew disappeared all these years...what were you doing all this time?"
No! Don't ask! They'll take us through each crew member's story and this show is long enough as it is!

 

[Nobodyman]

Oh yeah, Ace died. Can't remember if they mentioned that yet, but yeah, it was a whole thing.

Meeting at Green Bit, since Blue Part and Yellow Portion were already taken.

Brook, please cease the bodily noises.

Haven't even landed on the island and already we've got, like, three plot threads going on.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

You're a meathead, Luffy.

Making things up is the one thing he does, but he does it well.

Okay...where are we going?

One guy resigns, road trip to Dressrosa and two other places, finding this other samurai...

 

[Nobodyman]

Was that marine wearing a ninja headband?

Seven Warlords update and, wow, Buggy's really gone up in the world.

 

[animePWNS]

Long time no see, Buggy, aka another Joker.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Navy headquarters in the land of scrubbing bubbles.

And I suppose we'll be fighting them all at some point.

I can't take someone seriously who's wearing a clown nose.

I didn't know the Comedian was a pirate now.

 

[Nobodyman]

Yeesh. This Trebol guy's a real slimeball.

These guys seem very suited to their roles in Doflamingo's crew.

The Flame-Flame Fruit?! Vhat a tweest!

To be continued...right now!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

He sounds like Lew Zealand.

With as much knowledge of boundaries as Animal.

Don't get close to me without wiping your nose first.

I'm a genius! I'm not a genius! Okay, I'm a genius!

"He won't be able to resist this one."
Why, is it full of meat?

They've arrived in...Kansas?

 

[Nobodyman]

Luffy in a beard. Yeah, we'll explain that later.

Can't fly? Next you'll tell me you can't breath fire either.

"You samurai are a bunch of lechers!"
Pot. Kettle. Black. Sanji.

 

[animePWNS]

Quit Monkeying around with the dragon, Luffy!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

DRESSROSA! WE'RE HERE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

You know he's actually a boy, right?

He could have just climbed up really fast.

Oh, way to go, Luffy. You triggered his PTSD.

Again, you know he's a boy, right?

He'll be king, he'll be shogun, and I'll be the next hokage.

Aaaaaaaaand straight into Nami's bosom.

So it's an island with the same dress code as the school from Food Wars.

 

[Nobodyman]

Ah, a good ol' map. Without them we'd have zero hope of comprehending anything going on in One Piece.

So this place is basically Spain.

Plus living toys, apparently.

"Okay, the toys are alive, I'm over it now."
Can't deny, Luffy has the right mindset for this series.

Enter the blind swordsman archetype.

 

[animePWNS]

And we're in for a toy story.

Scratch that, it's Who Framed Roger Rabbit with toys!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

How did they name Green Bit Island anyway?

"So what do we call this island here?"
"What, that green bit?"
"...you know what, let's just go with that."

We seem to have landed at the Island of Misfit Toys.

Love, passion, and toys? So it's a comic book convention?

 

[Nobodyman]

"We put fake old man beards on ourselves. It's friggin' foolproof!"

"Oh, Straw Haaaats. Come out and play-aaaay!"

Whoa! I just spotted Louise from Bob's Burgers!

"The plot of this story arc is progressing! Or is it?!"

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Knowing this place, I'm guessing the food is plastic.

Samurai descending a staircase.
Or, how to fill one minute of airtime without advancing the plot.

"Your order has arrived...or has it?"
Things you don't want your server to say.

This waiter is getting on my nerves.
Or is he?
...he is, actually.
